Fix space regeneration determinism and caching bugs

Fix three issues in generate_space:

1. Z location drift: z was derived from the Blender bounding box, which
   changes after every regeneration. Use active_obj.location.z instead.

2. Cache invalidation for moved roofs/slabs: commit placements for
   HEIGHT_DETECTION_CLASSES in addition to BOUNDING_CLASSES so the
   geometry cache reflects recent moves.

3. Non-deterministic regeneration: the old Body representation was still
   present in the IFC file when get_space_volume_strategy built the
   geometry tree, so ray hits from get_vertical_bounding_planes hit the
   space's own body. Since each regeneration produced a different Body
   (BooleanClippingResult/FacetedBrep), the strategy alternated between
   EXTRUDE_CLIP and BREP. Remove all Body representations before
   strategy detection so the tree only contains bounding elements.

Also clean up stale IfcRelSpaceBoundary relationships before each
regeneration to prevent old boundary references from contaminating
subsequent runs. Remove ALL existing Body representations (not just
the first one found) to prevent duplicate half-space clipping chains.

Add regression tests including a 5-iteration stability check.
